John Wiley and Sons Ltd Project Finance in Construction
Book SynopsisProject finance has spread worldwide and includes numerous industrial projects from power stations and waste-disposal plants to telecommunication facilities, bridges, tunnels, railway networks, and now also the building of hospitals, education facilities, government accommodation and tourist facilities. Despite financial assessment of PF projects being fundamental to the lender's decision, there is little understanding of how the use of finance is perceived by individual stakeholders; why and how a financial assessment is performed; who should be involved; where and when it should be performed; what data should be used; and how financial assessments should be presented. Current uncertainty in financial markets makes many sponsors of construction project financings carefully consider bank liquidity, the higher cost of finance, and general uncertainty for demand. This has resulted in the postponement of a number of projects in certain industry sectors. Governments have seen taTrade Review“Overall, the short book is simple to read and understand.” (Construction Management and Economics, 2012) "This guide is for project managers, students, and academics involved in structuring and assessing project finance."

Momentum Press A Business Framework for International Commercialization of Innovative Construction Products
Book SynopsisBusinesses, consumers, industry groups, and governments understand the importance of innovation for continued economic success and improvements in quality of life. However, innovation remains an opaque topic. A paradox exists in the construction industry at-large; using innovation is vital yet challenges the value to individual organizations. This paradox is supported by a landscape that includes a sizeable graveyard of failed attempts at innovation on grand and small scales. As a result, A Business Framework for International Commercialization of Innovative Construction Products is the next book in a series looking at solutions to innovation adoption in a resistant industry. The study in this book relies on sequential explanatory mixed-method research design. Such methodologies utilize distinct phases in order to gain insight into the commercialization processes. Findings suggest perceived versus actual risks and barriers to the international commercialization process for an integral product to the construction process. Based on the identified barriers, the researchers develop market-based strategies that are incorporated into common business practices for residential construction innovation.

Momentum Press Public Works Inspection Essentials
Book SynopsisInspection of public works projects, during the construction phase, is a key element to ensure that the new facility or installation complies with the approved plans and specifications. Therefore, it is paramount that inspectors be well versed and fully understand the importance of their duties and the overall essentials of construction inspection. Projects, whether large or small, require similar basic tasks and parallel duties to be performed. However, inspection of public works construction has additional requirements that are generally not required when constructing private and industrial projects. This in turn, places a greater burden on inspectors involved in monitoring construction of governmental facilities.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG From Building Information Modelling to Mixed
Book SynopsisThis book reports on the latest advances in using BIM modelling to achieve the semantic enrichment of objects, allowing them to be used both as multidimensional databases – as comprehensive sources of information for finalizing various types of documentation in the building industry – and as modelling tools for the construction of virtual environments. Having advanced to a new stage of development, BIM modelling is now being applied in a range of increasingly complex contexts, and for various new purposes. This book examines the role that virtual reality and related technologies such as AI and IoT can play in preserving and disseminating our cultural heritage and built environment.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Design of Reinforced Concrete Sections Under
Book SynopsisThis book contains auxiliary calculation tools to facilitate the safety assessment of reinforced concrete sections. Essential parameters in the design to the ultimate limit state of resistance such as the percentage of reinforcement and the position of the neutral axis in concrete cross-sections, as well as the control of the maximum stresses in service limit states are provided by these tools. A set of tables, charts and diagrams used to design cross-sections of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are supplied. The most current beams and columns cross-sections namely, rectangular, circular and T-sections are considered. These tools have been prepared in line with the provisions of the new European regulations, with particular reference to Eurocode 2 – Design of Concrete Structures. The book stands as an ideal learning resource for students of structural design and analysis courses in civil engineering, building construction and architecture, as well as a valuable reference for concrete structural design professionals in practice.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Calculation Methods and Assumptions.- Implementation of Tables and Design Charts.- Tables.

Book SynopsisThis book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of civil, environmental and construction engineering, as presented by researchers and engineers at the XXX Annual Russian-Polish-Slovak Seminar Theoretical Foundation of Civil Engineering (RSP), held in September 2021. Co-organized by six universities from Russia, Poland and Slovakia, the event covered diverse topics such as structural mechanics; building structures; geodesy and geotechnics; transport and environmental issues in civil engineering. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Dynamic actions of a two-layer freely supported beam.- Chapter 2: Models of deformation of plates with double anisotropy.- Chapter 3: Parametric Study of Saw-cut Method.- Chapter 4: On the calculation of thin shells beyond the elastic limit.- Chapter 5: Homogenization in the problem of long-term loading of a layered elastic-creeping composite.- Chapter 6: Influence of the connectedness of thermoelastic fields on the stress-strain state of a circular rigidly fixed plate.- Chapter 7: Adhesive problem in the mechanics of materials.- Chapter 8: Asymptotic solution of elasticity problem in the vicinity of irregular boundary point.- Chapter 9:Mathematical modeling of the collapse form of the borehole walls.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reinforced Concrete with Worked Examples
Book SynopsisThis textbook describes the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures according to the latest advances both in the field of materials, concrete and steel, and in the field of structural analysis. These advances have been included in current version of Eurocode 2, which is taken as reference. All subjects are presented starting from their theoretical bases and passing to corresponding EC2 formulations. A large part of the book is concerned with the most innovative EC2 parts, like nonlinear structural analyses, second-order effects, punching and strut-and-tie models. The textbook is equipped with numerous worked examples, useful for the reader who is not familiar with the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures by the Limit State Method. Examples have been chosen among the most frequent cases of the professional practice. Thanks to this structure, it can be of interest both to structural designers for their professional training and to students of engineering and architecture schools for their studies. The volume contains twelve chapters, which follow the same structure of EC2, except for chapter 6 (dealing with prestressed concrete structures), which does not match any chapter of EC2, as prestressed concrete is considered in EC2 as a particular case of reinforced concrete, and corresponding formulations are shed over different chapters.Table of ContentsGeneral structural design criteria.- Materials.- Durability and cover to reinforcement.- Structural analysis.- Analysis of second order effects with axial load.- Prestressed concrete.- Ultimate limit state for bending with or without axial force.- Shear and torsion at ultimate limit state.- Punching shear.- Strut and tie models.- Serviceability limit states (SLS).- Detailing of reinforcement and structural members for buildings.- Tables and Diagrams.
